Rose

A rose is a woody perennial of the
genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are
over 100 species. They form a group of erect shrubs,
and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that
are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers are
large and showy, in colours ranging from white through
yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia,
with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America,
and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids
are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance.
Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature
roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height.
Different species hybridize easily, and this has
been used in the development of the wide range of
garden roses.
